The shock absorber has a spring force
adjustment sleeve with five adjustment
positions to allow the spring to be
adjusted for different riding and loading
conditions. If the spring action is too soft
or too stiff, adjust it according to the
chart.
CD453
NOTE: Before attempting to
adjust suspension, clean dirt and
debris from the sleeve and remove
load from the suspension; then use
the spanner wrench to adjust the
sleeve to the desired position.
NOTE: It is recommended that all
ATV weight be taken off the suspen-
sion prior to adjusting shock
absorber sleeves.
General Lubrication
Cables
None of the cables require lubrication;
however, it is advisable to lubricate the
ends of the cables periodically with a
good cable lubricant.
Engine Oil and Filter
Change the engine oil and oil filter at the
scheduled intervals. The engine should
always be warm when the oil is changed
so the oil will drain easily and com-
pletely.
1. Park the ATV on level ground.
2. Remove the oil filler cap. Be careful
not to allow contaminates to enter the
opening.

3. Remove the engine drain plug from
the bottom of the engine and drain the
oil into a drain pan.
DE017A
4. Remove the right-side engine cover.
5. Using the oil filter wrench and a ratchet
handle (or a socket or box-end wrench),
remove the old oil filter and dispose of
properly. Do not re-use oil filter.
DE018
NOTE: Clean up any excess oil
after removing the filter.
